Charles Hambleton used the surname CRYMES at marriage and thereafter. Charles Hambleton is described in a London directory of 1900 as "Crymes Charles Hambleton, M.A. St. Edmd. Hall, Oxon, curate, St. Mary Magdalene, Woodchester st. Paddington W; residence, 4 Upper Westbourne terrace W." Charles Hambleton's marital partnerships were complicated. Charles Hambleton and his first partner/wife Jennie Inloes, having married in 1894, were living at different addresses from 1901 onwards, suggesting a separation. Jennie Inloes at some point before 1939 moved to Devon, a long way from Charles Hambleton in London. Jennie Inloes consistently continued to declare herself as "married", even to the point of being described as "wife of Charles Hambleton Crymes" in her Probate Record. I cannot find Charles Hambleton in the 1921 England Census. Charles Hambleton developed a new relationship with Mary Louise, 19 years his junior. It is not known when this relationship started, but Charles Hambleton, using a false name, married Mary Louise in 1924, thus committing bigamy. In 1939 the couple were declaring themselves as man and wife. We can be certain that they deliberately gave the impression that they were married, because in Mary Louise's Grant of Administration she was also described as "wife of Charles Hambleton Crymes". The same phrase thus appears in the Probate/Administration records of the two partners, just 3 years apart. The latter application for administration of Mary Louise's estate will have been made by Charles Hambleton, and in providing false information in the application, he committed a further offence. Charles Hambleton's own Grant of Probate reads: "CRYMES the reverend Charles Hambleton of Manormead Nursing Home, Hindhead, Surrey clerk died 11 February 1959. Probate London 21 May to John Frederick Vitton Crowest labourer. Effects £1023 13s 6d." See the story of Charles Hambleton's life in the 'Stories' section of this website. |
